fredrikr writes "UK-based security firm mi2g has analyzed 17,074 successful digital attacks against servers and networks. The results are a bit surprising. The BSD OSes (including FreeBSD and Mac OS X) proved to be the systems least likely to be successfully cracked, while Linux servers were the most vulnerable. Linux machines suffered 13,654 successful attacks, or 80 percent of the survey total. Windows based servers enjoyed a sharp decline in successful breaches, with only 2,005 attacks."

    I don't think Camile has any talent whatsoever, but who gives a crap? Nobody on MTV or the radio has any talent. All you have to do is look good, and Camile's got that down. I'd let her taste my pineapple anytime.

    Meanwhile Fantasia is curling my nose hairs with her screeching and her ugliness. She can't sing AND she looks awful. Camile has half that problem.

    Lisa can sing okay, but her huge ass acts as a sound-dampening device so the sound never makes it to the mic. I'd suspect that Fantasia's huge mouth is somehow linked to Lisa's huge hips; how else would she be able to sustain a steady caloric intake necessary to manitain that girth? The two should tour together - HIPS AND LIPS TOUR '04. I'm pretty sure that midget girl was wedged in Lisa's ass crack.

    And then you have the Roman brothers, who are obviously the epitome of sexual perversion. Must I support my case? They like homosexual incestuous bestiality. They are obviously gay, they undoubtedly do it with each other, and by extension they are into bestiality since they both screech and wail like a dog hit by a car when they attempt to "sing."

    Matt worries me. I don't think he wants to make Simon bleed, I think he wants to gouge his eyes out and spit Skoal juice in the sockets and then crap on his face. This guy really scares me. He looks like a manipulative football player who would slip date rape drugs to a cheerleader simply because he's sexually frustrated from having to sniff other's guys butts all day at the bottom of a football pile-up. Sure, he can sing, but I don't want to mentally picture his covered in blood and carrying an axe when I listen to him sing about finding the love with one's soul mate.

    I'd much rather watch all the violence, perversion, and disproportinate body parts than have to look at Scooter Girl one more second. There is nothing worse than people who THINK they're quirkly and then have to ACT like it all day long - so it comes across and very forced and artificial. That girl was about as genuine as a blow-up sex doll. Good riddance! There are some redneck kids in my town who took apart a chainsaw or lawnmower (or whatever) engine and rigged it to their scooter, and they noisly (and illegally) ride it all over town in their dirty camo pants and worn-out flannel shirts. THAT is being unique, because they have no idea that they are behaving differently than everyone else. Scooter Girl was well aware of it every second. I hope she's pole dancing at a strip club right now, having conversations with stuffed animals as she shoves them places they don't belong while greasy pervs throw chump change at her.

    And there's Paula Abdul. Paula Abdul? wtf, she hasn't had a hit in TWENTY YEARS and her idea of talent is to take the cat from Tom & Jerry and make him do a rap on MTV! And Simon's bio says he is fameous for having "shaped what we consider to be modern pop music today." Thanks, Simon! So you're the reason that we're listening to shallow crap like OutKast and Justin Timerlake instead of Jackson Browne and Pink Floyd? How can I ever thank you? Maybe it would be faster if you just deficated directly into my ear canal and I handed you $20. And Randy - is he "street" or isn't he? He sure seems to flop back and forth on a second by second basis. One second he's all, "word to my shizzle and da muzzle with the frim fram, dog" and the next second he says "Yes, well the tonal articulation of the asonant freqencey far outweights your harmonic convergence."

    There isn't much to say about Ryan Seacrest except that John Stamos had better delivery on American's Funniest Home Videos. Maybe he's distracted because he's pet-sitting for Richard Gere or something, I dunno.

    It is now official - Voters everywhere have confirmed: The Howard Dean campaign is dying

    Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Howard Dean campaign when voters everywhere confirmed that Howard Dean accounts for less than a fraction of 15 percent of all voters. Coming on the heels of the latest primaries and caucuses which plainly state that the Howard Dean campaign has lost more vote share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. The Howard Dean campaign is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead second in the recent New Hampshire primary.

    You don't need to be a Bill Schneider to predict the Howard Dean campaign's future. The hand writing is on the wall: the Howard Dean campaign faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for the Howard Dean campaign because the Howard Dean campaign is dying. Things are looking very bad for the Howard Dean campaign. As many of us are already aware, the Howard Dean campaign continues to lose vote share. Angry, lunatic rants flow like a river. Howard Dean's voice is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its volume due to his apish shrieks. The sudden and unpleasant departure of long time campaign manager Joe Trippi only serves to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: the Howard Dean campaign is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    Polling leader Zogby states that 38% of democrats support John Kerry. How many supporters of John Edwards are there? Let's see. The number of John Kerry versus John Edwards posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 19 to 16. Therefore about 32% of democrats support John Edwards. John Edwards posts on Usenet are about twice the volume of Wesley Clark posts. Therefore about 16% of democrats support Wesley Clark. A recent primary put Joe Lieberman at about 11% of democrat voters. Therefore about 1.00 - (.38 + .32 + .16 + .11) = 3% of democrats support Howard Dean. This is consistent with the number of Howard Dean votes in Iowa.

    Due to the troubles of Howard Dean, temper tantrums and so on, Howard Dean's voters went to other candidates and were taken over by Dick Gephardt, Wesley Clark, and Joe Lieberman who sell another failed tax-and-spend philosophy. Now the Dick Gephardt, Wesley Clark, and Joe Lieberman campaigns are also dead, their voters turned over to even less desirable candidates.

    All major surveys show that the Howard Dean campaign has steadily declined in vote share. The Howard Dean campaign is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If the Howard Dean campaign is to survive at all it will be among far left peaceniks. The Howard Dean campaign continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, the Howard Dean campaign is dead.

    Fact: The Howard Dean campaign is dead
